Rams-Eagles clash: undefeated teams meet in early-season showcase

Two of the NFL's early-season powers will face off Sunday when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Los Angeles Rams in the 1 p.m. ET window. Both teams enter Week 3 at 2-0, positioning themselves as strong contenders in the NFC. The Eagles are listed as 3-point favorites at home.

Philadelphia's offense has clicked early this season behind Jalen Hurts, while Los Angeles is hoping to ride momentum from a Week 2 win over the Titans. The Eagles have defeated the Rams in three straight meetings, with their last loss to LA coming in Week 2 of the 2020 season. The Rams will look to snap that streak and win back-to-back road games after their Week 2 victory.

The Eagles' favored status remains 3-point favorites, reflecting a tight on-field projection in a game that could shape early NFC positioning. Much of the talk about Philadelphia this week centered on the so-called tush-push, but the Eagles have shown they can stay focused on the task at hand as they prepare to host Los Angeles.

Hurts

With both teams undefeated to date, Sunday’s matchup offers a high-stakes early-season test for Hurts and Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, as well as for head coaches Nick Sirianni and Sean McVay. A win for Philadelphia would extend its streak against Los Angeles and reinforce its status as a top NFC contender, while a Rams victory would provide momentum for a squad aiming to prove it can win on the road against a division rival. The result could influence early seeding and set the tone for a competitive NFC race ahead of midseason.
